The donor cannot cancel the registered gift deed unilaterally.

In fact the gift deed to be cancelled jointly, both donor and donee should have executed a cancellation deed jointly within three years.

Now it is barred by limitation.

Hence the donor can approach court with a suit for retrieving the property as it was not utilised by donee even after a decade.
